Assignment 1

This document outlines an assignment to create a library management system using linked lists in Python. Students are asked to implement functions to add, view, delete, borrow, and return books in two linked lists - one to store book data and one for borrowed books. The book data list should track each book's ID, title, author, and availability status. The borrow list tracks which book was lent by which borrower. Students must create files for each function, a main menu file, and submit all files in a compressed folder for grading. The system will be assessed based on implementing the required functions and student's ability to explain their work.
